You are trying to seperate the Butanoic acid and cyclohexyl chloride using water and dichloromethane as solvents. butanoic acid is relatively soluble in water and very soluble in dichloromethane. Which layer would be expected to be on the bottom? what compound would be found in this layer?

The component of mixture can be separated using extraction. so we use a separating funnel into which two immiscible solvents are added and the solvent which is heavier will be at bottom
the separation depends on the solubility on the component present in mixture with respect to the solvent
because "like solvent dissolves like."
organic solvent are non polar so non polar component will go to that layer while polar component prefer water as the solvent
